Description

Lavishly Toned PR66 1859 Half Dime
An Overlooked One-Year Subtype

1859 H10C PR66 PCGS. Lavish aquamarine and rose-red colors cover this bold and flashy Premium Gem. The date shows no indication of repunching, unlike many proofs seen. An unheralded but significant one-year subtype, the stars have hollow centers, and the Liberty has slimmer arms. This Paquet-engraved subtype was only struck during 1859 and on a few rare 'transitional' 1860 patterns; the Legend Obverse type introduced in 1860. Population: 7 in 66, 3 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 235P, PCGS# 4438, GSID# 3908)

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 1.24 grams
